Way of Overlord-Chapter 502: Era of Ants

Aeryon however would not like to be his future in the hands of others. Hence, he accept Mayeux plan of focusing on the west.

"Dama is maybe butterfly effect that I created" Aeryon thought to himself.

The East had always had the potential to be strong.

But no one have the heart and ability to unite it.

Dama appearance suddenly revitalize the east and now there is an overlord there.

When Dama first appear, Aeryon frowned a little.

From the very beginning, he could tell that Dama would be somewhat a threat. And that premonition grows stronger as the Esbizuk tribe grows stronger

But he himself has never thought that such a person could be so effective and fast.

This Dama seems to be learning from his own method.

His attack is swift and when he attacks he is decisive.

He never looks back and forge forward bravely. But when Aeryon read the book, the story of this world, it never mentioned Dama

Yes, it is more about the struggle in Yan which if Aeryon want to describe it, a poor imitation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Aeryon is also thinking about something else and that is why did he read this book about this story anyway?

This story has all the feeling of being an imitation of the Three Kingdoms.

Yet, he reads it anyway.

The characters did not change that much in the book.

There is Sun Ce. There is also Xiahou Cao which is just a name change of Cao Cao and the Jiang family which is basically the Liu family of the Han dynasty.

Other than a few changes, the book he had read is basically a plagiarism of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with different characters that are not so different

But was it really a book? Did he really read it?

Aeryon had many things in his mind. There is the matter of this world but there is also the matter of his own memory.

His own memory....he never doubted it before. But he is slowly doubting it now.

Is his memory of things, of events that he seems to only vaguely remember....reliable?

Because the more he delve deep into his mind, the more there seems to be something that is missing

There is a mystery locked in his head. And as the days passed by in this world, he found that there is more and more memory become hazy.

And some night when he goes to sleep, he would dream of a different world and a person with a different name

He sighed as he let go of his energy. He is now practicing his punches and kicks.

Then he laid down on the bed of grass.

He looks at the point he has and he is not eager to use it.

Right now, there is no use of adding some of this point.

After all, it is not like there is innate warriors all clamouring to become his enemies

Most of this adds to his personal power but rarely now does he have to go and fight personally

Most of the time, he waves his hand and he could send thousands of horsemen to fight for his behalf.

It did not mean that he neglected his training it is just that there is no urgency for him to use these points.

Destiny Points for example is very important for him

It is more important than all of the other points he has in his system

Because it is the point that gave him the ability to buy passive and active skill regardless of his class.

Since he got something in that cave, all of those limitation was scrapped.

And destiny point is more important to him because it could not only buy him abilities it could also buy him resources.

Aeryon at first fears that this world has people who could fly in the sky and could summon celestial phenomenon from the sky.

He fears that there is warriors that could cut the mountains and mystical beings that could waves their hands and changes the course of a war

But after almost a year in this world, he had learned something

Those kind of people does.....exist.

Only that it exist in the past.

The past where warriors with his sword could cut down mountain and take the head of the general among millions of men.

The past where witches cast spell and harm a person a thousand miles away and warlocks waves their hands and control the five elements.

This was in the past.

That era had ended. Of Gods, of witches and warlocks, of great warriors and champions.

This era, while there is people like Belarion, their limit is not so terrifying that they alone could fight a million soldiers.

There is still traces of witches and warlocks but their magic could no longer be so potent and so terrifying that the mere mention of them would chill people hearts

That era ended.

And in this era, population is more important than ever.

In the past, the great warriors and the witches and the warlocks all look and treat at the common people like ants.

At that time, even if there is a thousand ants, or a million ants, it is still ants and could not shake their position

But each era has its time.

Now, that era has ended.

Now, the era of ants has begun.

Today, a million ant could drown tens of thousands of warriors and warlocks.

A great general could decide the rise and fall of empire.

Millions of men could swallow the world.

The era of ants has come.

And because of that Aeryon no longer is so anxious to raise his stats.

There is of course another reason why he did not use his Destiny points and his attribute points as quickly as possible

In the beginning, each time he had the opportunity, he would use the points.

At that time, his situation was not like today.

When he first made the bet to use that Invincibility Card, he had bet his life.

The moment he uses it, he knows the only way he could survive is to keep moving froward. Only by increasing his stats he could feel more secure

And that is why he did not stop raising his stats.

Each time he got points rewarded by the system, he would added it to his stats.

But now, to kill him or even get close to him, assassins and evildoers had to contend with all of his warriors.

Every once in a month, Mayeux would send report of assassins that would try to kill him.

But most of the time, Aeryon never even met these assassin in Mayeux report.

Why?

Because even before these assassins could show their face and get close to him, Mayeux usually would already neutralized them

But one of the other reason why he did not use his attribute points is to shock his enemy and a method of rejuvenation.

In the past he also notices it but he did not take advantage of it because he did not have the leisure to take advantage of it

He is talking about the improvement in his stats each time he uses one point of the attribute point

For example, his strength right now is in the Rare rank.

Rare Might which is twenty-two points of attribute.

In a simple way, twenty-two strength means twenty-two strength of adult male of this world. Which is quite powerful.

Aeryon had fought Belarion before but Belarion might is around thirty or forty attribute point

This is his assessment.

But he also knows that when Belarion trained against him, Belarion did not burst with his full power.

Not to mention that Aeryon also learns about the unique nature of people born with innate strength

The stronger the enemy, the harder the adversity, the more energy and power they could unleash.

In others words, in a life and death battle, only then Belarion could burst out power that made him a one many army

And if they survived from the hardship and adversity, they grow quickly. In a way, they are like Super Saiyan.

The more pressure they are put in, the stronger they became
