Eh think of it like insurance and Anthony while not at fault is the one who did the majority of the damage Anthony is a “Risk Factor” so they’re raising the premium to discourage a behaviour they don’t want to see

This would be true but only if they were ALREADY importing various goods and materials from Colony sourced mines and manufactories which means they lose nothing by not trading with the colony as no trade exists however a city of that size being embargoed by the most competitive traders in the world would achieve the same thing so Erans threat is very real as it includes not just the minerals they use for their second skin but food and tools that they don’t grow and make themselves

Yes, yes Anthony it will

The bit might’ve gotten old if not for how ridiculous it is

Shameless is more like it

Hmm not quite they er on the side of caution I have no doubt that the legion once attempted to use monsters to fight the waves and each time it likely went bad they don’t know that Anthony has become “the ancient” with his soul crystal stuff and they’re probably immune however if they knew about it they’d probably be even more likely to kill them

Man why is it every chapter drop is just full of bangers

Stories good but I feel like it’s really rushed if it keeps going at this rate it won’t be long before he kills the abyss snake also even if strength is law wasn’t he like 18? He doesn’t have the the skills to manage a position like this

Grief? I think you mean greed

Guardian? Why not Librarian? Is this person an awakened if so why would they be stationed in what appears to be a normal library?

Premise is good though idk if English is a second language or they’re just new to writing a good editor would do wonders for it

Not that it matters but the “glass” is kinda redundant at least when I hear “beer bottle” I immeadiatly think of a glass one

But I’d t the fact that you feel “relaxed” with the Innkeeper more dangerous? You might make mistakes you otherwise wouldn’t when your relaxed or be taken off guard as you aren’t focused

Ah can’t wait to see how they react once they realize his body is more absurd than his “defensive” equipment

If that was true then then supplying extra mana during his system run “upgrades” wouldn’t do anything but you can also see the system actively sucking in more mana at the end of the second upgrade since nova couldn’t supply enough and system can’t produce it

There was “some” mana on earth otherwise what was Aron using to power his magic before the mana converter existed? It’s just that it was so low as to be imperceptible and have no affect on anything

Looks like unemployment is high as a side effect of all the economic disruptions and terrorism not as a result of AI use

Not necessarily remember it was mentioned that the key event had a direct affect upon the laws of the universe itself it may have caused changes to something in the hoard or the planet itself that lead to the dragon’s death

That’s why he’s telling them to contact more nuclear powers to beat the defences with brute force (numbers) it might’ve worked on a normal nation but Aron could just print up more anti missile defences

If other races did exist I wouldn’t be surprised if they had their own aesthetics unique to their race just like individual humans are attracted to different things different races may be attracted to features unique to their race, of course there would always be outliers with more exotic tastes
