The Matriarch Chapter 195 An equal
A mound appeared right in the middle of the two groups, growing to a few feet before bursting. It released a black figure that exerted so much energy that it made the wind crackle. It also caused lightning to build up in the air, making everyone duck for cover.All of them gaped, as the dirt that was covering it fell off, slowly revealing the being’s full form.“What the fuck is that?”Marco groaned from pain, feeling the pressure of the energy all around them increasing, pushing him down to fall on the ground.“I’m not liking this.”Selena whimpered, suffering as she felt like being squeezed from the weight of the force being thrown at them.It became a challenge to keep their heads up, as all of them ended up laying flat on their stomachs.Yet they got a glimpse of the creature that appeared before them.Raynald was the only one who could manage himself on his knees, allowing him to get a good look at the entity.Its pitch black skin shimmered from the moonlight, glowing white lin
The Matriarch Chapter 196 An unexpected discovery
In a blink of an eye, the beast disappeared from Chris’ sights, his heart thumped sensing that it was heading for his comrades who were escaping.The minute he turned around, Raynald and the others were already facing up front, ready to meet it head on.“No, don’t, keep moving!”He shouts, stopping them from taking another step back.Everyone flinched, causing them to halt, confused that they were being told to run even though the enemy was right behind them.Luckily, the creature was so swift that the others didn’t have time to react when it got close. But the moment it appeared in front of the group, it teleported to where it stood before charging.“I’m not going to let you leave that easily.”Chris gave out a satisfied grinned, blowing a sigh of relief, thankful that his trapped worked.That made the creature howl in rage, instantly dashing back and forth. Yet every time that it would reach a certain distance away from where he was standing, it would return to the position that fac
The Matriarch Chapter 197 Behind it all
After emerging from the green pool, Raynald was quick to grab a towel, wrapping around his waist the minute he felt his power and body had recovered.The other bosses were keen to follow, curious why he was in a hurry after they had finally had gotten into the safety of that place.The only person remaining there was Oliver, who was floating in a separate pool, one that had flowing water that glimmered with that emerald glow.The lad remained unconscious from his wound, guarded by several golems that were molded into a humanlike shape.At the door awaited Harold, swiping the crystal ball he had. His face seemed pale as he continuously kept repeating his actions.“What’s the status of the fight?”Raynald’s stoic expression could not hide the worry in his eyes. He’d been keeping track of the time that they were there, and it had been quite a while since they escaped.“We don’t know?”The man swallowed hard before showing the sergeant the sphere that he had. The only thing that they coul
The Matriarch Chapter 198 Defeat or victory?
Blood dripping, wheezing, and barely standing. Chris grabbed hold of the door for dear life with his remaining strength. His mask broke in half, showing his face.The swirling mist behind him kept pulling him, that even the people on the other side were slipping from the floor because of the vacuum.“Get him out of there!”Raynald’s senses jolted him to act, causing all the others to dash to the man’s aid.Marco and Bruno were the first to rush, being the strongest among them, able to withstand that misty whirlpool’s syphon.Yet even with their combined effort, hauling the matriarch into the sanctum proved difficult, as the pressure from the suction of the outside was immense.It was taking all of Chris’s strength just to hold on, knowing what will happen if he lets go of that entrance.The others from the black thirteen came rushing in upon seeing the ruckus from the monitors.Arnold was the keen to jump in to help, having the same power and capacity as the two muscle men. He attach
The Matriarch Chapter 199 Heart of the sanctum
Everybody ended gaping in awe the moment they stepped onto that last floor. Though the other floors had a certain degree of difference from one another, in terms of design and environment, that area completely outmatched all the others.Parts of its solid rock walls had gigantic veins, intertwining with the roots and vines that covered it. Some parts even seem to breathe, like the flowers that looked as if they were following their every move.“What is this place?”Finny’s eyes filled with astonishment, unable to stop staring at the large rune markings that glowed on all the side of the hall.They could feel that the entire area was brimming with power just by walking at it, as different colored sparkles that floated around greeted them.“This is the secret chambers. It’s the heart of the sanctum.”Raynald states.They had slowed down because the floor was now covered in plants and it was making it hard to push the stretcher where the matriarch was.“So this place is like the core.”F
The Matriarch Chapter 200 Cause for concern
Everyone remained silent, watching how the giant bud glowed. It was like that pulsating light that continued to hum hypnotized them.It took almost half an hour before a silhouette appeared within the sprout, poised in a fetal position, floating inside as if a sleeping babe.“Are we just supposed to stand here and watch?”Marco asks, bored that they couldn’t move from there. He’d been aching for a fight since they got there, especially after they put their previous battle to a halt because of that humanoid.“Afraid so.”Raynald grumbled, frustrated that they don’t know what’s happening at all. His face creased, gaze narrowing at the giant shoot hanging from the ceiling.“How come it feels like you’re not sure of that?”Finny inquires.Though he’d been itching to roam around that place, intrigued by what other mystery and fascinating stuff were there, he did not want to move about without proper permission.He would rather clear out everything between them, along with the terms that we
The Matriarch Chapter 201 Disappointing outcome and preparation
“Are you telling us you’ve defeated it?”Finny broke the silence that had taken over each and everyone of them. His composure turning into such a bright and joyous expression that it looked like everything around him twinkled.“No, I didn’t. And I doubt I could in my current state.”The matriarch admits, now realizing the reason all the people there had abruptly become livelier.That returned the gloom to all of them, their mood replicating the dimness of the place, as they got filled with that sense of dread and worry.“Then what do you mean by using him as proof, sir?”Harold was the one that broke that awkward glum that shook them all. Suddenly confused why the man would consider it.At that moment, the figure that was inside the bud move, its front now facing them.“I was holding him when I opened the portal. Did you not get him out?”Chris asks.From his memories, he was certain he grabbed hold of that being, dragging him along when he had called forth the door within that tempe
The Matriarch Chapter 202 Duties and a shocker
With the decision already put upon them, nobody else had the nerve to speak out about the arrangement. That left them watching and waiting as Harold continued to browse through his device.“Lets hear it then.”Marco grumbles, having lost his patience from awaiting with what the man had to say.The bartender flinch, but was vigorous to clear his throat before facing the group. They all had this bored expression on their faces, all the while staring at him.“Um, yes. First, we’d like to gather samples of those serums, along with the bodies of those insectoids that you fought on the pier. We need to confirm if they truly are the source of the borrowed power.”He informs them of that one thing on their list before fumbling away on the other notes that he had prepared earlier.“You mean to tell me we’ve been injecting stuff from those things?”Finny’s mouth gaped at the information. Even with his intricate sources, he never found out about that, and the discovery only made him infuriated.

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

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

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

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

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
