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
The Matriarch Chapter 217 A devastating result
Both Oliver and the doctor ended up in a staring match, as the young officer could not put aside the thought of what he had accomplished.“And what can a soldier know about something as complicated as this?”Steinz scoffs, lifting a brow at the youngster’s retaliation and hostility.“Because I’m familiar with what you’ve done to them.”Oliver’s jaw clench, teeth gritting as he glared at the old guy.With the use of his special eyes, he saw the energy swirling in each person’s body. It was like they were raging around in search of somewhere to stop. And the lack of that was causing it to become restless.Of course, none of them could notice this, since all of them relied on their machinery, only able to detect and gauge the power, nothing more.“Nonsense. This procedure is more safe and reliant than the previous ones. As you can see with our earlier volunteers.”With a snap of his fingers, several individuals came out of hiding, leaving their posts around the perimeter to show themselv
The Matriarch Chapter 218 Calm before the war
Strong winds continued blowing, waves rising to unbelievable heights. Lightning rage together with the roaring thunder in the skies. The earth rumbled and break, shifting its plates.Despair was taking over Chris at that point, seeing as the world was crumbling before his very eyes.“Matriarch, are you sure about this?”Harold asks.Behind them was the majority of their army of golems and beast, ranging from different types and sizes, all armed for the battle. They covered an entire hill and parts of the city, shrouding the areas like a shadow.He and the other leaders stood on top of the tallest building that was facing the last base on their list. There, they got a good view of the entire place, giving him a grasp of its entirety.“We have no more time to lose. If we continue to wait, the damages to the world is going to be massive.”From how the rampaging weather to the uncontrolled earthquakes, he was certain that this was all an aftereffect of the convergence.Though he did not w
The Matriarch Chapter 219 Not much of a victory
“Their back.”The two men ended their conversation when they noticed the additional people heading towards them.From afar they were sure it was the sergeant, seeing his flames jumping from one building to another.“That was fast.”Harold states, furrowing upon checking his watch. It had only been about ten minutes since they left, and they were already returning there.“And they seem to have brought some stow aways.”Chris’s gaze narrowed in on them.His face creasing the moment he took notice of the people following the man. It caught his attention, as the individuals were blinking from one location to the next. An ability which he was certain was limited to a few in the gang.Both men heaved a sigh the minute the group appeared before them. They ended up pressing a finger to their temples, suddenly having that pounding sensation in their heads.“Sir Chris, we’ve got the soldiers to surrender, and we also found these three posing as evacuees.”Raynald’s face was dark, sterns while t
The Matriarch Chapter 220 Caught up
About several thousand of the golems surrounded the base, facing both in and out of the place. Beast scattered across the city in search of any remaining civilians, all the while patrolling.They continued on with the evacuation, making sure that every person got accounted as they entered the sanctum.The only thing that remained a struggle to them was finding the infernal machine. As neither the power users, nor his summons, could locate where it was.They’d been searching the place for hours, having discovered several secret hideouts, but not a single room contained any useful information.“Matriarch, I think you ought to get down here and take a look at what we found.”Finny’s voice sounded on their receiver, causing both of them to frown. The two have not yet come up, which could only mean that the place underneath that base was deep.“Tell Raynald we’re heading down. He’s in charge now. And have Selena assist him.”He did not waste any minutes, calling forth some of the reserve g

They filled the place with every fighter that they had, as the area had limited space. Not to mention it was underground.Huge armored knights blocked the entrance, while shielded once surrounded the large rectangular screen that was used as a teleporter.As Chris continued to etch his runes, carefully lacing each of it with his energy, while making certain that he does not lose the traces that he was connecting it with.While he was doing this, the others rallied up each of their warriors, setting up their own kind of formation.“Make sure we have enough melee golems and ready the escape routes, just in case.”Harold continued to order, as there were still areas that he could fit fighters and beasts alike.He’d wanted to be certain that they would not be outnumbered, considering that they couldn’t get their artillery’s inside. Also, the giants which they were supposed to use against the double S class could not go underground.“What’s going on?”Raynald frowned when he arrived down t
The Matriarch Chapter 222 Wrong move
Roots shot out from the ground, closing in the exits. It also blocked the gateway, but was instantly chewed out by the enemy.The bunker shook, and the ceiling was breaking as golems and monsters clashed, together with power users who were brave enough to take part in the fight.Swarms rush to get inside in droves. Though their inanimate soldiers could hold them off, plenty of them were slipping from the defensive formation.“Harold, Finny, seal this place!”Chris orders as more of the insectoids were coming entering the portal that they opened.Both men followed.Finny’s shadow contained the mist, making sure that it stayed in one area. While Harold’s ability encased them inside his pocket dimension, to avoid anything from escaping.Being of a single mind, the monsters released a deafening screech, signaling the others to gather.Their heads raised, antennas up. Their appendages began feeling the surroundings, getting a good sense of the energy there.“Marco, protect those two! Rayna
The Matriarch Chapter 223 An unforeseen defeat
Chris picked up his pace, hurrying to get out of the bunker. Behind him are the others, following his lead, leaving the wounded with Finny’s second in command.All four men threw each other questioning glances, seeing how he moved with such haste. Not bothering to speak to them.“What’s the plan now, sir?”Marco broke the silence, unable to hold on to his tongue.His curiosity was eating through him, irritated that he can’t understand what’s going through the minds of his companions.“Nothing’s change. I’m taking this up to the surface. We need to get back there as soon as possible.”Chris mutters behind gritted teeth.Inside his mask, a few tears had escaped his eyes, still being gnawed by the guilt of his judgment a while ago.He takes in another deep breath, forcing his chest to loosen up, because he can feel it tightening each time he remembers his mistake.“Aren’t we being a bit too hasty about this?”Finny states, not able to accept that decision, especially since none of them e

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
