"Ahhh!!!"
Yan Ming screamed miserably as crimson blood burst through the carriage like a fountain, splattering everyone to varying degrees.
The luxurious velvet curtains were soaked with bloodstains, while the stench of urine permeated the carriage.
Just moments ago, the Warden had torn off a Director's head alive. The horrifying head, still connected to its pale, centipede-like spine, was gripped in his hand.
The spinal column swayed in the wind.
Ding!
[Congratulations to the New Era Deity for advancing Era Progress. Current Era Progress: -168%]
Bai Ye was instantly delighted. It had increased by another one percent!?
The Apocalypse Directors really were fucking scourges. Good death! Wonderful death!
But amid his joy, he was also somewhat puzzled. Even trash like this could increase Era Progress by one percent?
On second thought, though, it made sense.
To a God, Apocalypse Directors could be slaughtered at will, but throughout North Mang, every Apocalypse Director was a genuine big shot. The technologies, resources, and networks they controlled were immense.
Through political marriages, these Apocalypse Directors had countless ties to the major powers. Every move they made, every casual order they gave, could affect countless ordinary people. Their impact on the era was enormous.
If they had been allowed to leave alive this time and joined the Steel Brotherhood with their resources and technology, the Steel Brotherhood would undoubtedly have grown considerably stronger.
The growth of any faction would naturally affect the balance between regions and influence the era.
