When Raiden Mei and Raven were driven out of the Theater of Domination, the puppets inside were also bickering noisily. Once again displaying the nature of a rabble, they began blaming one another, claiming that this failure was so-and-so's fault, or simply saying they had opposed attacking Raiden Mei from the start and that the others had insisted on it. Then they launched into a massive shouting match.
What they displayed was the classic art of shirking responsibility and passing the buck.
Because it was such a familiar sight, people in the real world could not help thinking of many similar situations when they saw it. Their impression of the Thousand Herrscher as a mob of rabble grew even deeper—this was a group of useless idiots who could accomplish nothing and ruin everything.
At this level of incompetence, any Herrscher who had appeared so far could crush the Thousand Herrscher. Even the Herrscher of Wind, who had the worst record, had directly caused the collapse of a small country.
As for the other Herrschers, there was even less need to mention them.
It was precisely because this bunch of useless fools performed so poorly that it was hard to imagine them being capable of staging a civilization-scale game of Werewolf and directly causing the upper echelons of a civilization to collapse.
So how exactly had the Thousand Herrscher of the Previous Era achieved those feats?
Could it be that the Thousand Herrscher of the Previous Era had been vastly different from those of the current era, possessing some special trick that the current Thousand Herrscher lacked?
Or had the Previous Era truly been unimaginably weak, or perhaps horribly corrupt and depraved—on par with the current Thousand Herrscher—so that this group had nearly destroyed it?
It was truly impossible to understand.
