Chapter 269 - 44: Internal Conflict
"I understand your doubts, Abyss. However, in many cases, directly resorting to force is not the best solution."
Despite sensing hostility in Abyss’s words, Zero paid no heed.
"Perhaps just as you mentioned, the majority of the lower-class population, even when united, cannot shake the high nobles and high-ranking Professionals.
But with a sufficient number, a very small fraction of them, after enduring various hardships and gaining fortuitous encounters, will become new powerhouses."
"At that point, they will undoubtedly seek ways to avenge the previous assaults, which effectively plants the seeds for future turmoil."
"Moreover, nobles are nobles precisely because of the existence of these lower-class citizens.
Rulers might share your view, Abyss, disregarding the spread of rumors, considering that after each similar disaster, rumors inevitably arise.
They may follow previous methods, forcibly suppressing these voices among the populace and prohibiting discussions. They might not care at all, letting the rumors dissipate on their own."
"But now, times are different. According to Prophet Grey Mist’s prophecy, the biggest impact caused by the changes in the Net of Destiny will occur in the Empire.
When the upper echelons are distracted by the changes, it creates fertile ground for Resistance Organizations to thrive.
Thus, as long as these rumors spread for long enough and widely enough, eventually, some ’righteous’ Professionals and nobles will be willing to stand up and speak for these attacked civilians.
