Sirens continued to wail, along with its red lights that kept on glowing, signaling for an emergency. It mixed with the sounds of shouts, orders, cursing, and a lot of footsteps going back and forth.The non-stop noise, together with the on and off glow passing through his eyes, forced Raynald’s consciousness to wake.Still feeling groggy, he was quick to check if he could move. He felt relieved getting a sense of his fingers and toes, signs that the toxins in his body were wearing off.He tries to see his surroundings. Everything remained blurry, though the cold water gave those needle like prickling on his skin.He was thankful that he could feel it now, no longer having those numbing sensations that kept him on hold.A few more moments and he could make out the visions of what was happening in front of him.Several men in uniform armed with rifles were running around, being ordered by a few guys in lab coats.He could not understand what they were shouting, but the manner in which
The Matriarch Chapter 161 The secret of the abandoned lab
Bodies loitered all over the place, no blood, all bruised, and unconscious. There were bullet marks on the wall, together with a few broken and scratched up machinery.Lights flickered along the path as they continued to make their way into the hall. It did not take long before they hear arguing, which forced Raynald to keep his eyes open a bit longer.He was being carried by Bruno on his back, all the while the two others remained on watch behind.Afar, the remaining gang members of the black thirteen, were waiting in front of a large double door.All of them were on guard as they had their abilities at the ready, staring at the other entrances that were there. They only stopped when they noticed them.“It’s the Boss!”The youths ran towards them the moment they saw them approaching.All had this smile and tears on their faces as they rush to greet them.Immediately, they got surrounded by the screaming and flailing youngster, as each one of them tried to check on him.“Settle down g

Raynald continued to gaze at the vial while lying on his bed.He watched how the red solution glimmered like fire in his fingertips, as if it was liquified rubies.From what his friends had told him, the thing was his blood, though now that he was looking at it, it seemed different.“You all right, boss?”Arnold asks, having this worried look on his face as he placed the cup of iced drink on the table next to his bed.Not wanting to concern any of the youngster, he puts the object in the mini container he got. Hiding it in his pocket afterwards.“Yeah, any news from sir Chris?”He heaves a sigh, then takes the liquid in one gulp. He winces, feeling that slight burning sensation on his throat, taking another deep breath to enjoy its bitterness and strength in his tongue.It helps him calm down, since he has received no calls or messages from any of the two.“Nope, they haven’t come.”The lad states, pursing his lips upon noticing the heavy expression on the sergeant’s face.The other y

Raynald watch as Selena walked away, sashaying her hips, acting as if the streets were some kind of stage for a pageant.All he could do was shake his head, as he tried to keep on that straight face of his, since the woman keeps looking back on his way.“You really are the ladies’ man, aren’t you?”A deep voice suddenly spoke from behind.In an instant, he jumps away out of instinct, both hands at the ready blaze and energy immediately accumulating within his palms, making it glow crimson red. He stops midway when he sees who the person was.“Sir Chris! How long have you been there?”He utters after a few moments of gaping.He averted the man’s gaze, looking around the area to see where the private could have hidden. Though he had sensed it a while ago, he could not determine where the guy had come from.From the tattered dwellings that easily made noises, there was not much place to take cover from.The man was sitting atop a house, head resting on one hand that was placed on his kne
The Matriarch Chapter 164 A little playtime
Chris heaved a sigh. Once again, he was up against odds that he was unsure if he could face on his own.Fear crept inside of him as the energies in the air continued to increase and become unhinged.From what he remembers in the other world, it should not be that way. It felt like a wave, fluctuating now and then.There were times it would go on for hours, sometimes minutes, then it disappears for a whole day. It was so unnatural for him, added that noticed it had a schedule of sort.Besides that, there was another thing that concerned him, and it was the vial that they got from that supposedly abandoned lab.He could feel the sergeant’s essence flowing in it, but there was something else mixed in it, a familiar yet different aura at the same time.He kept playing with it in his fingertips, watching how the liquid flowed and glimmered inside the small bottle.“Is there a problem, sir?”Raynald asks, noticing how he was looking at it with a troubled look.“This blood. They’ve done some
The Matriarch Chapter 165 A possible loophole
“Are you sure you’re going to be all right?”Her mothers ask, having those pleading eyes, telling him to not go out of the house. As usual, they had worried look on their faces.“Maybe you should try to find a job somewhere else, like in a private security firm.”His father second the notion of that other option they have been talking about.“Yeah, I hear there have been several companies hiring power users nowadays.”Again, it was his mom.The elders both looked at one another, giving these hopeful gazes before turning to him once more.After he had returned, both of them had been overly protective, telling him not to go back to the military.Even though he wanted to follow that advice, it was impossible with what he knew.“And they pay good money.”His dad states, informing him of that one thing that worried him.After he had disappeared, his father had to do extra shifts again. His mom had to do side jobs just to keep his siblings at school.It irked him at the thought that none of
The Matriarch Chapter 166 Trial of the black thirteen
“Why did the boss suddenly call us all here?”Dereck grumbled, scratching his messed up hair in annoyance at being summoned in the morning. It was so out of the usual that some of them were still yawning, in pajamas, and barely awake.“I think he said something about training.”Bryce murmured while wiping the drool on his mouth. The youth looks up, squinting when noticing that the sun wasn’t up, yet the horizon was already turning blue, cutting the sky into half, with the other side being dark and filled with stars.“Really? It’s about damn time!”Upon hearing that, Dereck’s composure immediately changed, his eyes opened wide, glistening with anticipation and excitement.It instantly fired the guy up, throwing punches in the air to wake himself up.That somehow got the others riled up as they started cheering and jumping in joy at the thought.“It’s been so long since the last time he taught us.”Melo was squealing, holding hands with the other girls. Their faces flushing from certain
The Matriarch Chapter 167 First trial of the mask
“Everybody ready?”Raynald asks.As expected, all nine power users in his gang were there. Along with a few others with no ability, whom also wished to participate.“You bet cha, boss!”Arnold hollers, making everyone follow. All of them punched their fist through the air in a cheer.“Are you girls sure you want to join in on this?”The sergeant inquires to the females in his group, looking at them with a serious look on his face.“We’re part of the gang, of course we do!”Melo nodded with assurance, before all three threw in that same gaze as they stared at their leader with full conviction.“Are you also going to join the test, boss?”Dereck was quick to notice how the man was wearing his fatigue, boots, and camouflage jacket.That put a smirk on the man’s face as he crossed his arms over his chest while he looked at them with pride.“Of course, I have to show them what it means to be on the black thirteen.”He states, before raising his head.Just hearing that increased everyone’s

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
