"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," Caspar said his sentence slowly and firmly, so Alaric clearly noticed it. "That is what Baron Acton said. And what he said is thoroughly accurate. Power tends to damage people, and absolute power will corrupt people absolutely until there is no hope anymore. Although you are a good person, absolute power will damage you to the core. I really hope you don't take that road."
"You can't stop me," Alaric answered with a shrug. "I have everything to realize my goals."
Yes, of course, Alaric felt that he didn't need Caspar's support. He had begun to take over the media, technology, and even the automation systems in everyday life, which would soon be implemented en masse. He would be able to use all that to control humans.
