While everyone was shocked by Arasaka Group's actions, the news from Night City spread across the entire world at breakneck speed, taking everyone by surprise—even more. Indeed, the idea that Arasaka Group was trying to turn everyone into obedient cybernetic madmen was astonishing, but the truth was, given Arasaka's nature, no one was actually surprised that it would do such a thing.
At most, it was a case of, "Holy crap, Arasaka actually plans to go through with this."
After all, Arasaka Group had always been notoriously infamous, to the extent that if it said it would blow up the Earth, people would believe it.
However, one person taking over Night City and declaring all corporate assets confiscated—this sent shockwaves unmatched anywhere else.
And soon, the situation rapidly changed.
Religious organizations around the world quickly reacted—yes, even as humans ventured into the universe, this primitive relic still wouldn't die out.
