Chapter 268 Success doesn’t have to be mine
Arasaka Yorinobu has seen through the world today. He knows how twisted and abnormal this world is.

And precisely because he knows this, he becomes more and more extreme and more and more desperate. He understands that it is impossible to change this distorted world by gentle means.

“Only war, a war that destroys all old orders, a war that drags down all companies, can bring a glimmer of hope to this world. If companies don’t die, the world won’t live.”

Arasaka Yorinobu expressed his thoughts without hesitation. This is the truth he has summed up over the past few decades as his life went by, and it is the belief that keeps him going.

Although his father Saburo Arasaka has always been on guard against and suppressing him, it still does not prevent him from going deeper into Arasaka, understanding the essence of the company, and analyzing how to dismantle this and these behemoths.

He is no longer the "Steel Dragon" who only knew how to fight on the streets. Now he is the "Dragon of Destruction" who can breathe fire and destroy all corporate rule.

"Sigh~"

Ke Ling didn't react at all, but Arasaka Michiko next to him couldn't hold it anymore. She looked at Arasaka Yorinobu with horror, as if she got to know this man all over again.

There is no way. What Arasaka Yorinobu said can no longer be called heresy. It is a declaration of war on the whole world.

The look in Michiko Arasaka's eyes no longer seemed like she was looking at a normal person, but rather at a madman. Even cyberpsychopaths were not that crazy.

As a member of the vested interests, although she plays the role of a challenger in Arasaka Corporation and is the one who hopes for chaos, Arasaka Michiko only hopes for chaos in Arasaka. Her fundamental goal is to control Arasaka.

But Arasaka Yorinobu wants to destroy Arasaka and destroy the world. This is completely different from what Arasaka Michiko wants to see.

"Rebuilding social order is not as easy as you think."

Michiko Arasaka spoke out, and it was obvious that she strongly disapproved of Arasaka Yorinobu's approach. Even if she put aside the issue of her stance, this idea would be very difficult to realize.

Unless the world is really dragged down with it and all the companies are razed to the ground, even if a world war is fought and all the companies are dragged in, will the final result definitely be the disintegration of all the companies?

If you think about it, you will know that the probability of this happening is extremely small. It is not impossible, but it is a low-probability event that is completely uncontrollable. The greater possibility is that after countless casualties, the world is still under the rule of companies.

"Of course I know, so I will unite with national institutions in various countries and let them take advantage of the opportunity to nationalize all companies and take over this cake and the power vacuum."

Obviously, Arasaka Yorinobu has his own arrangements for this plan. He hopes that everything can return to normal track. In his opinion, it is normal for state institutions to control power, at least better than having everything controlled by companies.

No matter how bad the situation is, we must ensure that state institutions can check and balance companies. We must never allow a single company to dominate the market.

The company is like a blood-sucking worm lying on all of humanity. While sucking blood, it also releases false pheromones to humans, making people addicted to a virtual world. It does not bring any benefits, but will only make humans weaker and weaker until they die in the illusion.

"You still believe them?"

Michiko Arasaka had a look of bewilderment on her face. In the last Fourth Corporate War, both military technology and Arasaka were stuck in the quagmire. The final result was that military technology was completely nationalized, and Arasaka was just one step away. If it weren't for Saburo Arasaka who turned the tide and saved the company from collapse, Arasaka would have disappeared long ago and become a part of Japan.

But now, what happened then can only prove that even if Arasaka is weak, the state institutions cannot swallow up Arasaka, and although New America has swallowed up military technology, in fact, it has been listed on the market with a reshuffle. It is better to say that military technology has swallowed up New America, and New America has become the shell of military technology.

"You're really crazy to pin your hopes on these people."

Michiko Arasaka made a sarcastic remark and became even less optimistic about Arasaka Yorinobu. This guy has gone crazy and is now an anti-human lunatic.

He didn't even think about how many people would die in this war. Anything less than a few hundred million would be considered low severity.

Michiko Arasaka dares to say that with the current technological means, if we fight like crazy, it would be easy to bring human civilization to the bottom.

“It’s not impossible to start all over again.”

However, Michiko Arasaka's words were only met with a casual remark from Yorinobu Arasaka, and it seemed that in Yorinobu Arasaka's view, letting human civilization regress might not necessarily be a bad thing.

"?!"

Michiko Arasaka didn't know what to say. She felt that she could not communicate with Arasaka Yorinobu at all. This man had gone completely crazy.

Ke Ling, on the other hand, understood some of Arasaka Yoshinobu's ideas. How to say it, he might feel that even in the traditional "end of the world", human beings would live freer and happier than in today's society. Who says that today's society is not the "end of the world"?

In the chaos, order can still be re-established, and there is still the possibility of re-establishing order, which is much better than the current world that has been completely locked down and controlled by companies.

To be honest, if Ke Ling was a native of this world, if he did not have the ability to travel through time and space, he would not have the ability of an [Ultimate Creature].

Then in this desperate world, it is not a bad idea to follow Arasaka Yorinobu and fight passionately, smash this world to pieces, and drag companies into the abyss. After all, no matter how bad the world is, it will not be worse than it is now.

Even if he was charged with "crimes against humanity" and became a notorious war criminal, and was recorded in later civilizations as an ambitious person who started a world war that destroyed everything, it would not matter.

As long as I can reshuffle the order of this world and make people no longer just slaves, no longer just tools with brains, then I will be successful. As long as the result is good, the success does not have to be mine.

"Ugh."

Ke Ling sighed. Even though he was eighty years old, Arasaka Yorinobu was still the "Steel Dragon" with a middle school spirit. He was still the fearless young man who, after understanding the sins that Arasaka had committed, resolutely embarked on the path of opposing Arasaka and the company. He had the courage and determination that transcended his time.

"Master Devil, this guy is completely crazy."

Michiko Arasaka interrupted Ke Ling's thoughts with a sentence. She urgently wanted to get Ke Ling's recognition and support, because when Arasaka Yorinobu just spoke, Ke Ling did not express any opinion and did not show any shock, which made Michiko Arasaka feel alarmed.

Is she really afraid that Ke Ling will also support Arasaka Yoshinobu's idea and destroy the world? Will it be of any benefit to her? Arasaka Michiko doesn't think so. She has worked hard to climb to her current position and has experienced so many difficulties. Of course, she is unwilling to give up her current position and assets.

"Michiko, your mindset still hasn't come around."

Ke Ling glanced at the anxious Arasaka Michiko and couldn't help shaking his head. Facing these actions of Arasaka Yorinobu, the ones who should be anxious are the company leaders whose interests are in the current era. They are the ones who are afraid that Arasaka Yorinobu will drag them down to a dead end.

"Uh" Michiko Arasaka was stunned, looking thoughtful. The anxiety on her face subsided a little, and she began to think about the meaning of Ke Ling's words.

"Your interests are not just in front of you."

Ke Ling reminded him again. He thought Arasaka Michiko was the least urgent. Since the immediate interests were lost, why not focus on the future?

An immortal being who still cares so much about the bottles and jars in front of him is indeed a bit rigid in thinking. Even if human society starts over again, what are you afraid of as an immortal being? Are you still worried about not being able to find your place in the future society? Are you still worried about not getting what you want?

If you want, it is easy to become a leader of future society and someone who leads people to rebuild social order in the end times.

Even if human civilization collapses, it is impossible to directly regress to the slash-and-burn era, and it is even less likely to be destroyed. It is not that difficult to lead mankind to rebuild a new order. It may only take a few hundred years, which is not too long for the immortals.

To be honest, for Ke Ling, whether it is becoming a leader, leading the reconstruction of a doomsday civilization, or becoming the manipulator behind the reconstruction of civilization, it is definitely easier than manipulating the current world. Moreover, a blank piece of paper is easier to paint on, and rebuilding a civilization is definitely easier than changing the current one.

"This"

Michiko Arasaka was stunned. To be honest, she had never thought about such a thing. There was nothing she could do about it. She had just been transformed not long ago, and she was not considered old in this era. Of course, this not old was only for the elite class. For ordinary people, living to the age of seventy was not easy enough.

In this situation, it is certainly not easy for her to change her thinking mode. If some time passes, maybe she will be able to think of it herself.

After all, as an immortal, building an organization to influence and control everything behind the civilization is not a very strange idea. There are similar things in many literary works.

For example, when Saburo Arasaka was researching "RELIC 2.0", wasn't he essentially trying to achieve "immortality" and continue to control Arasaka, and further continue to control the world?

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"

Arasaka Yorinobu, who was talking big just now, is now confused. There is something wrong with the reactions of these two people!

And what about "focusing on the future", "controlling the world", "organization of immortals", what the hell is this? Isn't this too exaggerated? !

Arasaka Yorinobu pinched himself quietly. He suspected that he was dreaming. He must have been thinking about "RELIC 2.0" and Arasaka Saburo recently, so he had such a dream. It was simply ridiculous.

"We are talking about how we should rebuild the world after you destroy it and completely destroy the order of human society, and how we should control everything during the reconstruction process."

Ke Ling spoke to Arasaka Yorinobu with a bright and sunny smile, but his words made Arasaka Yorinobu unable to hold back.

He stared at Ke Ling blankly, then looked at Arasaka Michiko, as if trying to understand the meaning of their words.

“I don’t understand.”

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at Arasaka Michiko. He wanted to get an answer. Today's meeting went in a direction he had never expected. He hoped that Arasaka Michiko could give him an answer.

"Pfft!"

Then, Arasaka Michiko's head flew out. Arasaka Yorinobu's eyes widened and he shouted "Fuck". He took out his gun and aimed it at Ke Ling who waved it casually.

"Don't be in a hurry to fuck, just watch carefully."

Ke Ling was very calm and sat steadily on the sofa.

"Fuck, what the hell are you doing?!"

Arasaka Yorinobu was very confused. Wasn't this guy in the same group as Arasaka Michiko? ! They were just talking nonsense, why did they suddenly turn against each other? ! This was too sudden? !

However, what happened next made Arasaka Yorinobu open his mouth wide and be speechless. His hand holding the gun trembled slightly and he was in a state of extreme shock.

Michiko Arasaka, whose head flew out, moved her body on her own, walked to the head, picked it up and put it on her neck.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Just like that, Michiko Arasaka, who was holding her head with both hands to correct its position, spoke with a half-smile on her face, as if she found Arasaka Yorinobu's current appearance funny.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

Arasaka Yorinobu was swearing like crazy, which was a rare thing for him, especially in recent years. But now, he really didn't know what to say. What was happening before his eyes was too weird and made him feel a little unwell.

"Are you really Michiko?! Who the hell are you?!"

Arasaka Yorinobu raised a gun and questioned Ke Ling and Arasaka Michiko, but he was very skeptical at this moment, whether the weapon in his hand was really useful?

"As you can see, this is us, the immortal and immortal beings."

Ke Ling looked at Arasaka Yorinobu with a smile and said what he had prepared.

To be honest, after the contact, Ke Ling wanted to try to get Arasaka Yorinobu to join the group, but it was very difficult to do so. This guy was too stubborn. He had to give him some tough advice, make him willing, and think that joining would be good for his dream.

"Are you kidding me?! Isn't one RELIC 2.0 enough?! What's going on here?! Michiko, is this the result of military technology research?!"

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at Arasaka Michiko. It was known to everyone that there had always been an unclear relationship between Arasaka Michiko and military technology. In the past, Michiko Arasaka had sold out Arasaka's interests in America many times, but Arasaka was unable to take care of it at that time.

Now, although Arasaka Michiko has returned to Arasaka and changed her name back, does she really have no connection with military technology? Arasaka Yorinobu is not sure, and such an outrageous thing is definitely not something that a small force can come up with. It must be a company at the level of Arasaka and military technology that can master it.
