After that, Fang Zheng secretly left Tianming's prison with Kallen, and then reunited with Ying and Lin before being discovered, and then... he told everyone about his plan.
"All we have to do is walk into the Mandate of Heaven headquarters in front of everyone and kill the Pope and the idiots who are in cahoots with him, and we'll be done!"
"…Is this your plan?"
After listening to Fang Zheng's story, Kallen was confused.
"What's the problem? Could these idiots of Destiny be more powerful than the Fire Moth? And I heard that these idiots have transferred all your Valkyries away. If we attack them now, what can they do?"
"But……"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Karen was still a little hesitant.
"If we do this, it will be equivalent to completely overthrowing the Mandate of Heaven. Although there are indeed problems within the Mandate of Heaven, they are the first line of defense to protect the people from the Honkai attack... Hey, why are you hitting me?!"
"stupid!"
Fang Zheng retracted the fist that was hitting Karen's head and glared at her with disappointment.
"How does this become overthrowing destiny?"
"Eh? You were the one who said you wanted to kill the Pope!"
"Does my killing of the Pope have anything to do with overthrowing the Mandate of Heaven?"
Fang Zheng's rebuttal was so confident that Karin didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You guys... your brains are really..."
Looking at the confused looks on Kallen and Sakura's faces, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
"Listen carefully, Destiny is the front line protecting humanity against the Honkai, right? Then is Destiny the guardian of humanity?"
"yes……"
"But now, you also said that the bishops and high-ranking officials of the Mandate of Heaven enriched themselves through indulgences and wars, and made the people suffer. Isn't that right?"
"Um……"
"That's it."
Fang Zheng clapped his hands, while Kallen and Sakura remained confused.
"???"
"You are so stupid... Listen carefully, the destiny exists to protect mankind, but now the Pope and the senior leaders of the destiny have deviated from this purpose, which means they have betrayed the ideals of the destiny! So what we need to do is not to rebel and overthrow the destiny! But to restore order! Do you understand?!"
Looking at Kallen in front of him, Fang Zheng was really disappointed. China's political wisdom for thousands of years has always been like this. If you want to attack a certain target, you should lift the group high up and put it down gently. Then lift the individual high up and drop it heavily.
After all, if you attack a nation, a country, or a force, you will definitely face full resistance from the other side. But if you only target some important figures among them, that's another matter.
So these Europeans just don't understand this truth. They always want to start genocide or religious wars, and they deserve the mess they have created.
Like Kallen, why did she commit suicide? It was because she subconsciously combined the top leaders of the Destiny with the entire organization, and realized that she could not fight against this behemoth with her own strength, so she could only choose this way to awaken and resist.
But... who wants her to fight against an organization alone? Are you crazy?!
"Among the three major families of the Destiny Organization, your Kaslana family also has a seat, right? Then what's wrong with you burning those idiots of Apokalis under the banner of restoring order to the Destiny Organization?"
"But now the Kaslana family... I am the only one left."
"fool."
Fang Zheng threw another punch, hitting Karen hard on the head. She screamed in pain again and stared at Fang Zheng with dissatisfaction while holding her head.
"What matters is not how many people are left in your family! But that Kaslana is still one of the three families!"
Liu Bei, a straw sandal weaver, dared to call himself the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. You are the legitimate heir, so why can't you be a little bolder? !
"Listen carefully. As long as Kaslana remains one of the three great families of the Destiny Organization, you have the responsibility and right to eliminate the corruption and depravity within the Destiny Organization, to restore order and turn the tide. Isn't that right?"
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he angrily took the cup of tea poured by Lin and stared at Karen. He now felt like a parent who was about to go crazy while helping a child with homework, saying "You need a cat and a fish".
"Yes... that makes sense."
Fortunately, Karen wasn't really stupid. With Fang Zheng's patient guidance, she began to understand things to some extent.
"But... I don't have much power... I can only rely on myself..."
"How come you don't have any power? If you really don't have any power, why would Heaven's Mandate move your Valkyrie Squad far away before the execution? And you also said that the Indulgence Operation organized by Heaven's Mandate has caused widespread resentment among the people. As long as you raise your arms and shout 'The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven should be established', you can't gather a group of people?"
"You want to get the people involved in the fight against destiny?"
At this moment, Karen stared at Fang Zheng in amazement and shook her head vigorously.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
"Why not?"
"Because...how could they possibly be a match for Tianming? They haven't even learned swordsmanship, nor do they have any combat experience..."
"Then there's nothing we can do. We just deserve to be exploited."
Fang Zheng shrugged and spread his hands.
"Only the gun has the final say. If you don't resist, you deserve to be oppressed. If you don't want to stand up, don't blame others for making you kneel. You can't always rely on Kaslana to conquer the world for them. Aren't you the only one in the Kaslana family now? Can you save everyone? If you could, it wouldn't have turned out like this."
Fang Zheng learned from Otto's diary that Kallen had been obsessed with becoming a phantom thief for some time, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. She enjoyed it, but Fang Zheng didn't think much of this simple heroic concept.
"Didn't you work as a phantom thief before? What was the result? Even if the people can use the money you gave them to get through the hard times, what will they do next? Will they kneel on the ground, waiting for another hero to jump out and help them for free? Save them from the water and fire? Wait until the hero dies? Continue to kneel and wait for another hero? There is a saying in my hometown that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It is useless to just give them fish. They must realize their own strength and resist, instead of always having a hero stand in front while you hide behind and wait for the ready-made food."
Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted.
"You don't want to share adversity but want to share wealth? There is no such thing as a good thing."
"But... the Kaslana family is the people's shield... we..."
"That's why you have to stand up. Don't just protect them, but also encourage them. It's like facing a beggar. Are you going to give him a few silver coins to get by? Or find him a job so that he can get out of the predicament of begging for a living?"
"…I need to think about it carefully."
"You try your best."
Fang Zheng waved his hand and said nothing more. He also knew that his words were shocking to people of this era. After all, this place was different from Shenzhou. In his hometown, "Are kings, dukes, generals, and ministers of different races born from different species" was ingrained in their bones, and rebellion had long been considered a racial skill.
In Europe, the ignorant theory of bloodline rule still exists. Kallen is actually the same. She has always followed the Kaslana family's creed of protecting the people and regards it as the truth.
But if one day someone jumps out and tells them that their ideas are outdated, it would be strange if their three views are not shattered.
Leaving Kallen to think about life, Fang Zheng walked out of the room and took a long breath. At this time, Yaezakura also walked out.
"Miss Karen, are you really willing to do this?"
"What else? You don't want to keep running away, do you?"
Fang Zheng shrugged. Actually, Yae Sakura didn't care much about these things. It would be fine if she fled with Kallen. But Fang Zheng said, "Are you planning to hide forever?" She was shocked. Indeed, if they didn't solve the problem of destiny, then even if they found a new place to live, they would probably encounter the same thing again.
So Yaezakura also agreed.
Soon, a night passed.
Just as the day was getting light, Karen found Fang Zheng again.
"I don't know if what you said is right, but... fate really can't go on like this."
Although Karen was still confused at this moment, her expression had become much more determined.
"I thought about it carefully. Indeed, if I just obediently go to the gallows, it is indeed not in line with my style. And this time, I want to let them see our strength! Even if we fail in the end, at least... at least it can make those who do whatever they want to restrain themselves a little..."
“You really are…”
Hearing this answer, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. Well, no matter what, it's better than becoming a martyr.
"Then get ready. I still need to change your clothes."
"Change clothes?"
"Of course, as a leader, if you don't dress nicely, people will think it's a Beggars' Rebellion. Often, the aura is created by clothes!"
"That's... okay."
Although Karen agreed, she soon regretted it.
"Wait, wait! Why is the skirt of this dress so short? And why do I have to wear knee-high socks? And why do I have to show my thighs?"
"What are you arguing about? Didn't I put a cloak on you outside?"
"Also, why am I raising such a big flag? I feel so ashamed..."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's good enough that I didn't ask you to expose your breasts and hold up the tricolor flag to reproduce the world famous paintings!"
"Why--!?"
