From a normal moral perspective, at least 7 out of 10 should be killed.

It's not just the thoughts of the upper class; for them, humanity as a fellow human being has no value beyond emotional worth. Any skill or knowledge can be learned by inserting a chip into the body. They don't need to worry about the lower class dying out and having nothing to play with, since as long as they let a little bit slip through their fingers, they can support a large number of toys and lackeys.

Even worse, it doesn't matter if the lower classes completely lose their desire to reproduce, since they can be cultivated in artificial wombs anyway.

If the world weren't unified by a single producer, but rather comprised of numerous large corporations vying for power, and these corporations might not even need that many employees.

In this situation, the lower levels of this world also completely broke down.

If you have the talent to join the company and work for it, you can live a human life. If not, no matter what you do, you can only make a living. Most people at the bottom spend their lives in a virtual world connected to "Mewtwo," which directly stimulates the nerves and records the personal feelings of the person being recorded. Apart from that, they just eat food that barely fills their stomachs.

Or perhaps they join cyberpunk, or become something like a cleaner, profiting from the power struggles between companies and gangs in exchange for a short period of carefree existence, only to die in some forgotten corner.

In this situation, the world has become rotten, and Yukino Yukinoshita also feels that it has become rotten.

In other worlds, if you support de-urbanization, people will say you're extreme. But here, if you do de-urbanize, as long as you don't drive people to radiation-filled wilderness and preserve agriculture and medical technology to supply humanity, everyone will say you're doing a good job.

It was so awful that even she, who a few years ago believed that the strong should help the weak, almost vomited.

She wasn't stagnant; she wanted to change the world, but what she wanted was to dismantle the superstructure while simultaneously reshaping people's minds from the ground up. She wanted to convey her ideas to Kerry, not...

How could she possibly keep up with Kerry's speed? Even though Kerry seemed to be walking leisurely, he still managed to leave this swordsman, whose body had been enhanced multiple times, far behind.

Looking back, the towering building that stood in the sky was gradually being filled in at its lower level.

One, ten, hundred, thousand... Yukino couldn't count the exact appearance of that place, but just by estimating within that massive building, she could guess that it was probably filled with tens of thousands of heads.

Based on the locations of the drones and helicopters flying overhead, it can be roughly determined that Kerry's destination is likely the company square.

"Stop! Stop! Or we will use heavy weapons!"

A huge noise rang out in front of the company square, where a large group of company dogs, who had undergone multiple prosthetic modifications, blocked the area.

They didn't know what was happening. It started with the sudden appearance of towers of human heads, followed by a report from the NCPD that a very strange cyborg was carrying out a large-scale terrorist attack.

Moreover, that cyborg was extremely terrifying because his actions harmed the clients of the trauma team members. Even though the notorious trauma team sent several groups of people, none of them returned.

Of course, the main reason why these high-ranking people in the company are still on the front line in the face of such a terrifying existence is that Mr. Saburo Arasaka, the CEO of Arasaka Company, is in the Night City branch. This is something that absolutely cannot be lost. If Mr. Arasaka is unhappy and fires them, they and their families will fall from heaven to hell, which is a terror more terrible than death.

Engaging in pointless shouting, the company dogs knew that the madman capable of mass killings of trauma group clients was unlikely to stop, but they were willing to delay even a little while, as their reinforcements were on their way.

"bump!"

A tall figure descended from the sky—Adam's Heavy Hammer!

A man whose special physique allows him to have an almost unlimited supply of prosthetics—a terrifying existence capable of instilling despair in anyone!

As long as he's there, no one can advance an inch...!

The employees, who were still thinking, saw a shadow flash out and appear in front of them. The Adam Hammer, which they thought was invincible, was actually pinned down by the man with his bald head.

"Baby...you're a little...ahhhhh!!!"

As everyone watched in disbelief, the mechanical artifacts detached inch by inch from Adam's hammer, and his remaining flesh and brain began to be squeezed from the inside out, until he became a flat... a pancake, a pancake that was still howling in agony, fell to the ground while wailing in pain.

"What's going on?!" The executives stared at the screen in alarm. Something beyond their comprehension was now active on the screen. They had been confidently thinking about how to deal with dissenting opinions within the company and settle scores with security personnel after the incident, but they suddenly realized that the prerequisite for doing those things was that they still had a tomorrow.

Immediately afterwards, they felt a pulling sensation that their bodies and any instruments could not resist.

Unbeknownst to the people in these company squares, not only they, but the entire Night City, were being forcibly dragged from their homes and gathered in one place.

"Caw!!!" Having lived through World War II to this day, Saburo Arasaka, who thought he had experienced countless storms in his life and built the Arasaka Group into the world's number one arms dealer over 150 years, was now screaming in terror in the air.

And his trusted Goro Takemura and the world's most elite bodyguards were being pulled out by an invisible force, just like chicks.

"Ugh!" As the details on the ground in front of him gradually became clear, Saburo Arasaka did not feel the shock he had imagined, so he opened his eyes with a little relief to take a look.

However, he did not realize at the time that this was not a good thing.

The Japanese man who had participated in World War II was taken away by Kriti, but his old face, which looked like that of a yakuza, gradually calmed down.

"Who are you? What do you want? You need to think carefully about what you're going to do. You're very talented, and I can give you anything you want in the world, some things you couldn't get even if you killed me. And whatever conditions or threats your backers make, I can help you resolve them! Is it facing the world's most elite military force relentlessly pursuing you with heavy weapons, or..."

Kerry, who was just building the global live-streaming technique he had previously used at Type-Moon, finally turned to look at him.

Kerry confirmed that the live stream had started, and then instantly moved the old man to the vegetable section of a supermarket.

"How come there aren't even any vegetable markets these days? Well, I'll just have to make do here!"

"The Hand of God!"

Kerry channeled his power into the old man's body, and then Saburo Arasaka suddenly felt as if his body was about to turn inside out, with his intestines as the center!

Chapter 493: The Episode of the Most Respectful Ancestral Laws

"hiss!"

Lucy gasped.

Not only her, but even other cyberpunks who were already used to brutal scenes were sweating profusely and their legs were trembling.

Similar scenes are happening all over the world.

Arakawa! That's Arakawa! The CEO of the military tycoon Arakawa! He was actually captured, subjected to unimaginable torture, and his story was broadcast live globally, allowing hundreds of millions of people to watch for free!

Even more terrifying was the scream, that agonizingly sharp howl.

Even though David originally had some desire to take revenge on Arasaka Corporation, seeing this scene made him think it was a bit too cruel.

Every inch of skin rotates, flesh is pulled from the skeleton, and something that should be inside is exposed.

Even more terrifying is that escape and ending are not allowed. They cannot fall into a coma or die. The thing that can no longer be recognized as human is still alive and can still make sounds, sounds that are hard to imagine coming from a human.

Although this might somewhat harm the mental health of minors, Kerry did it anyway.

Because this world is already so rotten, he found a corporate clerk, dug up all of Arasaka's dirty secrets and scandals, and then read them aloud in front of the whole world.

What will happen is definitely not a scene of everyone being indignant, other regions starting to boycott Arasaka products, or people storming Arasaka's headquarters in various places.

What will happen is just a reaction like, "Oh, that's quite surprising." or "Indeed, it fits my stereotype of Arasaka."

And the world will continue to be the way it is.

After all, it's clear from the fact that these major companies, apart from biotechnology, are all military enterprises, and their main projects are developing technologies that ordinary countries and civilians can hardly compete with, that they rely on their strength to speak.

Even if Kerry eliminates a group of people and establishes a new order, there will still be a group of ordinary people who think it's cool to go crazy and become a legend, so they start messing around.

Therefore, Kerry also chose to use special methods in this special world.

It's as if, in all the worlds he's ever been to, the world where the seemingly random teru teru bozu (sunny doll) and street lamp decorations refresh the slowest is actually the world he was in at the beginning.

Because the Kree only exerted direct deterrence and demonstrated their identity as an aggressor in this world.

The so-called "actions that cannot be known" means that "power that cannot be measured" is true.

Kerry must demonstrate utter brutality to intimidate these people whose minds are already rotten.

Then distribute the excess resources so that they can feel the grace and how wonderful it is to live in equality, prompting them to devise their own order to maintain it, rather than taking it as a free change from heaven.

To achieve this effect, one Arakasaka is not enough!

That's exactly what's needed! Kill!

Using mind reading to identify identities, besides such simple killings, they can also kill in droves!

Because of Saburo Arasaka's death, Arasaka headquarters immediately mobilized troops to Night City.

Because if problems of this magnitude cannot be solved, perhaps many reckless and ignorant people like Johnny Silverhand will emerge in the world.

"Good timing!"

Kerry peered through the supermarket roof at the various fighter jets and the cyborgs falling like dumplings from the droppers.

The assault team of over a hundred men was instantly reduced to a pool of blood mist under the watchful eyes of the entire Night City.

Still not enough!

Kerry remotely captured those clueless corporate dogs again. It didn't matter what company they were from. Those who worked for the company were basically special combat units, command units, or negotiation units. There were actually very few people who sat in offices. And those office workers had long since treated human lives as numbers, just like Paradox Interactive players.

And the directors of several other companies too! Kerry didn't let them go either! He remotely captured them from all over the world!

Then, Kerry transformed into the Golden Slasher from A Certain Magical Index, slicing through the world with her hand to create cruel things, inflicting pain before their heads flew into the tower.

Soon, the tower was filled.

Not enough! Still not enough!

The new tower rises from the ground like a highly efficient assembly line, sending up anything in this world that survives by harming others, regardless of whether it's the owner of a world-influencing corporation, a cleaner who just helps the rich collect human bodies, or a gang member.

The only outcome when facing these things is death!

As she watched the heads of people converging on the pagoda from all directions, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little short of breath.

Trying her best to suppress her inner turmoil and fear, she said that when they met again, she would let Kerry see the answer.

But she, who had just chased Kerry all the way to the Arasaka Building, couldn't say anything now.

She saw hackers in the building who had been trained since birth, some of them still in petri dishes.

They saw a new genetic engineering project to breed more talented people and plant multiple chain bombs in their bodies when they were young.

This eliminates the need to recruit externally for things like schools that require manpower due to fears of problems with highly intelligent AI, and also eliminates concerns about internal spies within the company.

In all the high-ranking offices, she saw sunglasses and recording devices casually placed without any concealment.

As for normal Mewtwos? Their lives are already much more exciting than normal Mewtwos. They can experience things in reality, so why should they wear electronic devices, lie in bed, and waste their lives in a way that only consumes cheap energy, like ordinary people?

It even stemmed from the previous plan to train hackers, leading to the idea that it might be possible to allow only the brain to survive and directly allow the mind to enter the data field.

There is also a massive list of deaths resulting from failed experiments.

The company wants to launch a prosthetic body and needs to see how well it fits the human body. The simplest way is naturally to grab someone to test it.

With the rebels all absorbed by Kree, this once heavily guarded place could be freely entered and exited by her with just a little care, given her physical level.

There's a difference between reading news and seeing reality.

She had only intended to go upstairs, but when she saw the fifth bone tower rising from the ground on the rooftop, she was speechless.

She felt that if Kerry wanted to hear, he could shout here and the other side would definitely hear her, but how could she say it? Say something like, "Leave a part of them and let them reform them properly."

She pursed her lips, leaned against her sword, and sat down, gazing silently at the countless heads flying through the air in the distance.

……

On the other side, David was also staring blankly at the sky, where on a tower, he saw some "acquaintances" he was not yet familiar with.

The information includes high-ranking officials who betrayed them, deceived and manipulated their management, and some figures in Night City who, while not legendary, are still quite well-known.

"Didn't you say you'd find someone to deal with Arasaka's harassment? Is this how you resolved it?"

Rebecca looked at her brother, who was still dancing in a post-apocalyptic scene, and then at David and the things in the sky that were completely in the style of Junji Itō's paintings.

Chapter 494 Yu-Gi-Oh! Go!

The killings lasted for seven days.

The heads of the dead rolled endlessly, and pagodas stood tall.

The Kree will not spare not only Night City, but all human settlements in the world today; the only difference is the number of targets.

Those things will consume their own souls to maintain their current state of constant suffering, now reduced to just a head. During the day, they will emit bursts of wails, and every night they will use their life force to generate electricity to make the pagoda shine.

That's really:

A hundred rays of rosy light shone on the skull, while mournful cries echoed throughout the metropolitan area.

A thousand stupas draped in auspicious mist, a sign of terror plaguing humanity.

The global military system was directly destroyed by Kerry alone. Everyone immediately gave up on targeting Kerry and tried to plunder resources with weapons. But unfortunately, those who did this soon found themselves with heads on the tower.

Throughout the entire process, Kerry never made a single request of the people of this world.

And his ideas are even less likely to be understood by others.

Just as Johnny Silverhand believed that the fight against Arasaka was "a war of the people against the social system," he destroyed Arasaka Tower in the hope of awakening people's fighting spirit and resisting while there was still time.

However, he was regarded as a legend of Night City, and people thought that he did it because he was looking for thrills and crazy coolness.

Kerry's actions initially only stirred up more nonsensical things, such as some gangs operating under the guise of religious faith, and most people who, because they hadn't been killed, felt that they wouldn't be killed again.
