Chapter 1262 - Stop Being So Overly Sensitive!

After talking about the System, the The System Master appeared here and suddenly, he was brought to tears. I had never thought of this outcome.
But instead of feeling happy to see him despair and cry out his lungs out, I couldn"t help but feel bitterly deep inside.
I couldn"t help but pity him.
Ugh…
Seeing him like this just doesn"t suit him.
I"ve always thought of him as a know-it-all a.s.shole that always liked to manipulate others.
But now? He had suddenly become a softie that was actually traumatized because of bad parenting…
I guess most of the cliché villains of this world can be summarized like this in some ways.
I don"t know if I can agree with them, I do have memories of Chaos, my mother.
She raised me with lots of love and care, and even self-sacrificed herself for me, so I could survive, even if that triggered a series of many events across the entire Universe.
So by remembering these things I am filled with happiness and warmth, although, before that, I also had these memories of a past life that wasn"t really me, it also had the parental love of two parents… whoever this man was, he was also loved.
But I can imagine how painful it would be to no receive all of this. Without the memories of my mother being there for me as I as a little Chaos abomination, I don"t know what else would I hold dear, fake memories of someone that wasn"t me? Then what else would I have?
Well… my family right here, I guess… they"re my most beautiful memories at the end of the day, they"re the most beautiful things to my life, the things I work so hard for, the motivation of my everything.
Without them, what would I even be? Perhaps not even a husk, just nothing. I wouldn"t be the same I am right now… I would be something I might probably hate.
So maybe because he was never raised with love, he became an a.s.shole? I mean, that happens all the time in Earth with kids…
I guess with all the power he had, he grew resentful of his own mother and grandmother, and decided to raise even stronger than before, to abuse his powers and become someone that could dominate them and take over their power.
Maybe he just wanted attention?
At the end of the day, it does seems to be the case…
I wonder what might had happened if he was given the love, he always desired deep down but never told anyone about.
Would he had been happy?
The System Master… might had been someone else completely?
Who knows? Maybe he would had still kept being a p.r.i.c.k.
At the very least, with the gracefulness and innocence of his daughter, he was finally breaking down the sh.e.l.l that he covered his own emotions with, and showed out that he was indeed a person with feelings… I never thought I would ever see him act this pathetic.
Everyone around the council looked at him in contempt, all my wives.
"d.a.m.n, he"s really crying a lot…" said Brontes.
"I never thought I would see this man… Who had caused so much chaos after the Ragnarök, cry like this… I would be laughing but… I simply can"t…" sighed Agatheina.
"Indeed… I also kind of hate him for what he did to honey… but now? It feels so weird to laugh at someone like this… Agh, I guess I am a softie at the end." Sighed Zehe.
"Uwaaahh! This is sad guuu!" cried Rimuru.
"A touching moment indeed… I never knew this man had emotions." Said Nesiphae.
"Yeah, I guess even this guy had them bottled up… Wow." Said Gaby.
"I feel like he should feel a bit more ashamed, but he clearly was already broken too much, perhaps even his pride was merely a façade… all to hide a broken man. No, a child." Said Nixephine.
"Hmph… I don"t like him either… But… Ugh, I guess I"ve felt the same back then… When I didn"t had anything… Knowing that my parent had to die for me to be born… Being a True Spirit is not something nice… But I suppose I will give birth to a child that is not completely a spirit… So I shouldn"t disappear like my parent once did…" said Nefert.i.ti.
"You girls got really emotional…" I sighed.
"Sniff… Oohh, it is indeed painful to not be loved as a child!" said Sofarpia.
"That"s right… the hards.h.i.+ps and traumas is what shape us as we grow… Everyone was once a child after all…" sighed Sofelaia.
The twin centaurs were using handkerchiefs to cover their tears, I suppose this really brought a few to even cry.
"Nngh… I-It"s not… s-so sad!" muttered Ova, she was holding back her tears very hardly, I could see her face slowly distorting more as she held them up.
"You"re really holding them up, aren"t you? My parents were also gone when I was a child… Surviving in the plains was hard… And then, after growing up… my husband was gone as well, before we could bear a child… Oh well, that"s… on the past now, I got a child and… a fulfilling life… I suppose we all got a second chance…" sighed Altani with a mild smile.
"Sigh… This brings me back when I was a human and all… I used the religion of the G.o.ds as an escapism from my troublesome family… I wasn"t raised quite well, I guess that made me weak, to the point I grew attached to religion and became an insane fanatic… It was the only thing I had aside from my two sisters…" sighed Acelina.
"Auntie… Don"t cry…" sighed Ismena at the side of Acelina.
"I-I am not crying or something! I am completely fine…" said Acelina.
As my wives were all in tears and speaking their hearts out, I noticed that Astraea caressed her father"s face gently.
"Father… Don"t worry." She said with a gentle smile.
