He wants to completely dismantle the destiny-decreeing-death system and save the earth by killing off a third of the world's human population. Further deconstructed with the ultimate plan of the Big Bad.

And trying to stay alive on purpose means that you have to kill others and drain their life force to keep on living. Destiny isn't something that should be screwed with in the first place, so if you somehow accidentally manage to stay alive when it's decreed that you should've been killed off, bad shit will keep happening to you and the people around you until you finally do die. The Idea of Evil, the true power behind the Godhand, was willed into being by the collective subconsciousness of humanity because they could not accept that their suffering had no greater meaning or reason behind it. A missing chapter reveals that this was inverted in the backstory.Hell, probably the most badass speech in telling destiny to go screw itself. This one's perhaps best expressed in Guts's declaration of war on the demons from the manga, which can be found in the Quotes Wiki part of this page and which ranks as perhaps the most badass speech in the entire series.Screwing destiny over becomes his purpose in life after that, much to the surprise and amusement of the Godhand. The Brand of Sacrifice on Guts's neck in Berserk is a double-edged sword - it draws demons to him, but because he didn't die when he was supposed to, he's now an unpredictable factor in Fate.Naturally, he destroys Wiseman, first by shooting it, and then by dismantling it piece by piece. He has been groomed by Wiseman for this fate his entire life. In the final season of Armored Trooper VOTOMS, Chirico is offered godhood by Wiseman, an ancient computer system that has been manipulating civilization for millennia.At the same time, Kizaki takes advantage of his destiny by running all kinds of risks in the course of his quest, confident that he won't die until he turns 20 in three years' time. In particular, Kizaki knows that he is predicted to die at the age of 20, which drives him to disrupt predictions in the hope that doing so will enable him to avert his own death when the time comes. The main characters, Kizaki and Nanaki, strive to prevent the predictions of calamity they have from occurring. Screwing Destiny is the core plot of Ann Cassandra.In the New Years Day episode of Aggretsuko, Retsuko gets a fortune predicting she will have great misfortune in 2017.If they get ahold of the Tomes of Prophecy and Fate, they might literally rewrite their fate.

If one particular character has this ability while everyone else is helpless against it, then they would be Immune to Fate. A hero who screws destiny by pressing on regardless of, or even against, a prophecy, becomes The Unchosen One. Occurs frequently when rival seers engage in Scry vs. If they set out to Set Right What Once Went Wrong via time travel, and end up making it happen, it becomes You Already Changed the Past. If they fail or succeed but fulfill the prophecy anyway, it becomes You Can't Fight Fate and a strike against faith in individuality. Note that it's only a true Screw Destiny if the characters actually succeed in evading fate. They're going to become who they want to be. Screw destiny and all the others who try to discourage them they're not going to fulfill the prophecy of world destruction because they're the Big Bad's descendant, or become a sacrificial magician. And then there are those who don't care about that philosophical mumbo-jumbo and believe that as strong, free-willed individuals, there's no reason why they shouldn't decide their own futures. There are those characters who are mere Cosmic Playthings in the scheme of an implacable Fate Because Destiny Says So.
