Chapter 239 Eternal Divine Election_2

So, if the Demon King doesn't trust the prophecy and doesn't dispatch a force to search for and kill the Hero, the Hero will not take revenge on the Demon King, and neither will he kill the Demon King because of that.

The same logic, the same conclusion.

The only difference this story presents is that the Demon King gets replaced with the Empire, and the Hero is replaced by Achane.

What follows afterwards is akin to those RPG games, Achane escaping the Empire's manhunt set out for an adventure, as if a classical Hero, collecting all six magical items from the Chaos Gods, becoming the prophesied Eternal Chosen who was to end the world, and then prepared himself to take down the Demon King - oh no, to destroy the world.

However, Achane refused to resign himself, he chose to accept the trials of the Chaos Gods precisely because he aimed to completely obliterate this world, to strip all the Chaos Gods of their powers and to bring an end to everything through this approach.
