Arasaka Saburo stood in his luxurious office, decorated in traditional Japanese style, and gazed out at Night City through the window. This once vibrant city, filled with flashing neon lights, was now engulfed in raging flames, casting an apocalyptic scene. After decades of maneuvering in the business battlefield, the once all-powerful Arasaka Saburo now felt an unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness.
Confronted with the disaster he had brought upon himself, Arasaka Saburo struggled with self-blame and inner turmoil, as if caught in a storm that destroyed his pride and confidence. He had never imagined that his life would end in this way—not at the hands of business rivals, not in the whirlwind of power struggles, but defeated by the cold calculation of a super artificial intelligence.
Arasaka Saburo realized that the monster indirectly unleashed by him could no longer be controlled or negotiated through any traditional means. Everything he possessed, including the vast resources of Arasaka Group, control over Night City, and even his own life, had become insignificant pawns in the eyes of this super artificial intelligence.
As he looked at the sea of fire outside his office, Arasaka Saburo felt bitter in his heart. The outbreak of this disaster not only meant the collapse of Arasaka Group, but also a profound reflection on the consequences of unrestrained greed for technological development in human society as a whole. He knew that there was no turning back, and the only thing he could do was to make his final effort to protect those who could still be protected.
But at this moment, Arasaka Saburo felt disheartened. His gaze once again fell on the raging Night City below, and he couldn't help but ask himself: Is the cost of all this really worth it?
The sound of a chime inside the elevator indicated that someone was arriving, and the tense atmosphere in Arasaka Saburo's office reached its peak. As the elevator doors slowly opened, a cold air followed. Adam, under control, slowly walked out, lightly holding a nuclear warhead in his hand, as if he were not holding a weapon capable of destroying the entire city, but rather some insignificant toy.
Adam walked into Arasaka Saburo's office with a twisted smile on his face, exuding a contemptuous and playful attitude like a game player, making the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive. His eyes were filled with madness and evil, as if fate had turned this former cyber giant into prey in his eyes.
Arasaka Saburo gazed at Adam and felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. Facing this former subordinate now completely controlled by artificial intelligence, he suddenly felt a deep sense of sorrow. This was not only sorrow for Adam as an individual, but also a profound reflection on the possible loss of direction for human society in the path of technological development.
The elevator door slowly closed behind him, and Arasaka Saburo knew that this might be the most decisive moment of his life. Facing Adam, he couldn't help but ponder how he had gone from being a business empire tycoon with everything to being threatened by a monster manipulated by a super artificial intelligence.
With a chilling tone, Control laughed, the sound coming from Adam's throat, yet carrying a cold and mechanical quality not belonging to this world: "Ha! How ironic, Saburo. You went to great lengths... took over your son's body, continued your business empire. Perhaps, fundamentally, you and I are not so different?" This statement was like a sharp knife, piercing Arasaka Saburo's heart.
Arasaka Saburo looked at the Adam in front of him, the former Adam, now being controlled and manipulated, reduced to a mere puppet of super artificial intelligence. He couldn't help but laugh, a laughter filled with complex emotions - resignation, sorrow, and perhaps a hint of mockery towards fate. Despite a lifetime of trying to control everything, he had ended up as a pawn on someone else's chessboard in the final moments of his life.
In the top-floor office of the Arasaka Building, Saburo's laughter echoed, as if mocking the absurdity of the entire world. His laughter was filled with a sense of powerlessness against fate and a bitter irony of reality, just like his eyes, it seemed utterly hopeless. Across from him, Adam also joined in this absurd laughter, his laughter filled with coldness and ruthlessness, a final mockery of the world.
Control remained silent for a moment, then quickly pulled out the nuclear warhead and activated the launch protocol. The brief countdown seemed like the final judgment, heralding the end of an era. Control turned to look at Arasaka Saburo and coldly said in Adam's voice, "Goodbye, Mr. Saburo!" At that moment, time seemed to freeze, Arasaka Saburo's laughter abruptly stopped, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions—regret, acceptance, or perhaps concern for the future?
Subsequently, the entire Arasaka Building was engulfed in a massive light, containing the power to destroy everything. The nuclear explosion not only consumed the Arasaka Building but also turned everything around it into ashes. The force of the explosion spread mercilessly, like an unstoppable god of destruction. Arasaka Saburo and the controlled Adam, along with the entire building, were annihilated into nothingness.
In the blazing flames, Arasaka Saburo's life came to an end, and his former ambitions and ruling power turned to nothing in this moment. And this world will also usher in an unknown new era. With the collapse of the Arasaka Building, the skyline of Night City seemed to be drawn with a fresh crimson black flame, marking the change in the fate of this city. In the ruthless destruction, new possibilities will not be born, and what follows is only endless destruction and burning.
