The Matriarch Chapter 209 Blindsided
Raynald and Harold were both in front of the table, inside the newly built war office, mapping out and discussing tactics and probable actions they could take when Chris came in. Both were keen to pause what they were doing, seeing that the man was frowning while looking around the room.“Is there a problem, matriarch?”Raynald asks, observing how the guy sighed, furrowing upon determining that there were only them there.“Has anyone seen Oliver? I wanted to upgrade his armor and his weaponry, but he wasn’t in his spot.”The fellow shows some pieces to them. Shoulder falling in utter frustration at not finding the youngster.“I gave him some time off, since he’s been overworking himself lately. Though he could be exploring a part of the sanctuary again.”The sergeant informs, remembering his orders to the young soldier yesterday.“Yeah, I think I saw him with Arnold and Bryce this morning.”Harold adds, recollecting that he’d seen the group running around the hall before he got to th
The Matriarch Chapter 210 Caught and trapped
“Everybody, please kindly form a straight line.” A male voice announces to everyone that was on the vehicle. In minutes, several men began getting in to assist the people to alight. Mix within the civilians was Oliver’s group, looking all dirty and messed up like the rest. As they marched into the camp, all four huddled to one another, keeping their sights on the surroundings to make certain that nobody has noticed them. “What do we do now?” Arnold mumbled as they were nearing the hangar. The place got turned into an evacuee center and was already being filled to the brim. Also, there were more soldiers paroling there than anywhere else, having a few more standing guard. “Stay close and follow my lead.” Oliver says after seeing the crates nearby. Though feeling that tension gradually taking over them, they remained astute and stern. Once in a while, they’d slow down, slowly separating themselves from the line. The minute they sense the chance, they did not waste any time
The Matriarch Chapter 211 Desception
All of them remained stiffened, unable to speak or make any kind of unnecessary move, fearing that their cover might get blown.The only thing they could do was throw each other meaningful gazes, warning each other not to carry out any sudden moves.“You know, I have heard so many stories about you.”The man continued to babble, walking right in front of them as they headed towards the building in the middle. It was the primary base, which they were positive where officials were staying.The guy remained by their side, chattering with a smile on his face as he escorted them there.“Same here.”Was all Oliver could say, keeping his tone cheery throughout their chat.There was this certain pressure enveloping all of them at that time, which was the reason they couldn’t decline the man’s offer for help.“Is it true that you can smell aura? Thus the name sniffer.”He states, turning around to face them.That drove all the youth to gulp in unison, feeling that sudden blast of force slam ri
The Matriarch Chapter 212 A twisted enemy
Yellow scorching beams rained down on them, piercing through the ground, leaving deep, smoking holes. The continues barrage chipped away on Oliver’s shields, as it drove him to summon several of them to create a shell like defense.All they could do during that time was to take cover and accept the full force of each of those attacks.“Come now, sniffer. I am sure that isn’t all you’ve got.”Carl hollered, grinning with delight at each bombardment that he’d send their way. It elated him, seeing how sturdy those conjured defense was.After a few moments, he stops, noticing the silence and lack of movement from the dome like shell that stood there.He narrowed his gaze to get a peek, forcing his power to sense and confirm they were still there. He hissed, charging at it with a compressed energy in his fist to give it a good blow.His blood raced, watching the thing instantly fall down, disintegrating upon contact, revealing that nobody was hiding behind it.“Tricky little bastards.”He
The Matriarch Chapter 213 Wrong turn
“Oliver, are you all right?”All three of the youngster rush to his side, helping him to sit, as he was still trying to catch his breath.He could not believe his luck that he’d survive that, since he didn’t think that the military would mobilize their men that quickly.The soldiers that were there were all fully equipped and at the ready, there were even tanks and heavy machineries moving around. They had mobilized everything, which made all of them curious.“Yeah, it wasn’t that bad. The sergeant packs a harder punch than that guy.”He tried to laugh it off, but ended up coughing from the sting and twisting of his nerves. His muscles were cramping from receiving the man’s beating head on.It was taking a while for his natural healing to work, cause he had used up much of his energy reinforcing his armor.He was so happy that his efforts paid, seeing as he was alive and still breathing.Arnold leans on his shoulder, pretending to weep, together with the two others the minute they saw
The Matriarch Chapter 214 Separation anxiety
Both officials ended in a staring match, as Oliver’s father would not back down. Yet, it seems the fellow had a score to settle with the man, as he grinned, already having a comeback for that excuse.“He’s a soldier, is he not? Surely he was trained to endure something like this.”Everyone turned quiet, as the two officials continued glaring at each other, leaving the youngster to turn to look at his friends.The tension brewing up between the men was so thin that none dared to intervene, fearing that they might get pulled into the conflict. It felt as if at any given moment, a fight would break. Even their personal guards were on edge, ready to take on the other group out of grudge.“That will be not be a problem, sir.”Oliver intervened before anything else happened, lifting his head up high, assuming the same form as the soldiers.That received a frown from his dad, a grin from the other official, and a shocked expression from his friends at the sudden change.Since it had already
The Matriarch Chapter 215 An unknown to all
Same as before, the way the soldiers marching in sequence were like robots, all well armed and equipped. They trek to the side of the main building.There was an enormous double gate there. The platoon stopped, as one of the high-ranking officials had to call onto his radio.Oliver braced himself, hearing the large doors opened up, clanking from its pulling motion, each gear making a ruckus of its own as it moved. A loud thud almost made him flinch. If it wasn’t for him being alert, he would have jolted.He took in a deep breath, seeing the trail downward. It looked like it was leading straight into an underground tunnel.From there, they began separating per army, as each general had his own men. They were in the fourth row, so it was going to take some time for them to move, giving them a chance for a bit of chat.His dad nudges him with an arm over his shoulder, pulling him closer.“I’m proud of you, son.”The man says, finally putting on a smile. He could do the same, seeing that
The Matriarch Chapter 216 The pyramid of power
Both Oliver and his father could not believe their eyes. While the younger gently gaped in shock, the older one hid his surprise behind twitching brows and clench jaw.The two look at each other before the young man put on a stern face, gaze narrowing at the person who stood smirking in front of them.“They said you were dead.”Oliver’s expression turned murderous, gritting his teeth with a clenched fist hidden in his back.That only made the geezer sneer, snorting at how he was being looked at. It also induced the others behind him to chuckle, shaking their head like the idea was humorous.“A minor tactic to remove the prying eyes of other nation on my work.”The person states, flickering his fingers into the air in a jest.It only caused the soldiers’ blood to boil, seeing how they were being ridiculed by the guy.It took almost all of their restraints, just to keep themselves steady, though they were itching to throw a punch at the fellow’s smug face.“You’re still a wanted man, do

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

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

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
