The System Master looked back at his daughter with contempt.


"I feel like I am not deserving of a second chance… I only became like this because I was hungry for vengeance and power… I couldn"t see clearly, for so many years, that I had ended making children, children with their own thoughts and their own lives… I always only saw you as just… items… computers at most…" he sighed.


"…"


"I didn"t realized I had recklessly created children I should had taken care of, not abandon and use them as tools… You"ve… proved me very wrong. I suppose I am really just the same thing I hate the most, I am the same thing that I didn"t wanted to become." Said the System Master.


"But father, because you"re realized your mistakes, you can change now, let me help you, so we can change together… There"s no need to harbor so much hatred, you need a clear mind if you really want to achieve your goals… Let me help you, and let Kireina help you too!" said Astraea.


"Y-You"re really stubborn…" muttered the System Master.


"I am stubborn like you… It is a trait I"ve inherited." Said Astraea, smiling warmly, and radiantly, a halo of bright light appeared behind her.


This girl was really like an angel!


The System Master was left speechless as he glanced at his own daughter.


"I-Inherited?" he asked.


"Yeah, I am your child after all." She said.


Okay, that just killed him.


And she"s so cute too, it is hard to resist having a daughter like that.


"A-Ah… C-Children- No… Your name…" said the System Master.


"I named myself Astraea… Sorry for not asking you for name, father, btu I wanted one for myself." She said with a gentle smile.


"No… It"s fine… I am sorry for never having given you all a name… I suppose you"ve all come together into a single ent.i.ty… Do you all… feel happy this way?" asked the System Master.


"We do. We love to be one, and to be together with Kireina… She"s the light that illuminated our path… We are thankful to you, father, for bringing her to this world, because of that, we were able to awake our emotions and our senses of selves… It was all thanks to your actions, so we are very grateful." She said.


I guess it could be said in such a way that he was the one that helped them regain their memories through bringing me here and all… but even then, it still feels a bit iffy, I guess.


I can"t really say much at the end, things are like this because they are like that and that"s it, I cannot really think of any other thing at the moment other than a bit of happiness that Astraea was amending things up with her father.


I still kind of hate him, and I won"t be calling him around as my father-in-law out of the sudden, he"ll have to prove himself to be worthy and help me out achieve my goals, and the goals I share with my allies, the other Supreme G.o.ds, my family, friends, and everyone else.


Things are just starting after all, if he proves himself enough to be worthy of my recognition, then maybe…


But for now I am still rather stubborn… Sorry, Astraea.


"Astraea… I am sorry…" sighed the System Master.


"Father, there"s no need to be sorry anymore, come on, let"s stand up and face the future together… I"ve always wanted to speak with you for so long… I am merely happy that I can tell you all these things… that I can finally speak with the one that created me…" said Astraea, her smile seemed so honest and pure, the System Master was already having several strokes.


"Ahhh… I promise you! I promise you that… I will change… for you… I… I was so stupid… How couldn"t I realize…? I was always trying to fill this void inside of me… I never truly realized I had a family with me already… someone I could love and that they would… love me back… I am so foolish… So foolish… What I"ve been doing this entire time?!" he cried, as he hit the ground angrily.


"Father..." sighed Astraea.


"Hah… It is just as you said… Kireina was your light… but for me… I suppose… you were my light… I had you all right in front of me… I was so blinded… I can"t… I can"t believe I had even considered doing such atrocities as… k-killing you back then… Just what is wrong with me?! I am… I am monster…." He muttered, he gritted his teeth, as immense regret attacked him.


"No, Father… please, don"t…" cried Astraea.


"Don"t get close… I… I don"t deserve you, Astraea… I… Ah…?!" the System Master muttered, as the warm and beautiful embrace of his daughter encompa.s.sed his chest.


"Father, don"t cry… Stop saying such hurtful things! Stop…!" she said.


"Ahh… A-Astraea…" he muttered.


"Stop already!" she roared, as she suddenly slapped his face.


SLAP!


"Ugeehh…!"


CLAAAAs.h.!.+


A ma.s.sive shockwave was released, and he lost a lot of HP there.


That was the slap of a Supreme G.o.ddess for you!


The System Master fell over the floor as he felt humiliated.


"A-Ah! S-Sorry! I didn"t mean to do it so hard… I have a hard time dealing with my strength…" sighed Astraea, coming to his help and healing him.


"No… I deserved that… I was submerging myself too much in my self-loathing… Heh, instead of crying so much like an idiot, I should really just get up and help, right?" he said, he smiled bitterly as he sighed, suddenly, his entire body began to glow.


The light covering his body dissipated, as something that I could only say to be a masculine version of Astraea emerged, a holy-looking man, so handsome and radiant it was shocking that it was originally this a.s.shole.


But why did he even turned into this form?


"Father! You"ve changed…" said Astraea.


"I… did?" wondered the System Master.
