Chapter 1260 - Father And Daughter

I was actually pretty pissed when the topic of this idiot dominating worlds, eating two whole worlds, and even messing around with my friends at the other side of the Universe came to my attention.

I knew all of that but back then I couldn't do anything than swear I would beat the shit out of him and help them out, but they seemingly had already resolved most of their problems themselves.

Knowing that actually made me pretty happy, knowing that the System Master stopped messing around with Hekaton on there and also that Hekaton was killed with the help of my clone, well, now she renamed herself as Aurora.

My clone evolved on her own unique form and powers and had become something equivalent to the Avatar of Lucifer in Genesis, a strong Time and Space specialist, while leaving aside other powers. I think it was the right choice, specializing in a single thing helped her acquire a more immediate power than trying to develop all the powers she had inherited from me.

I am honestly happy for her and what she had made, she even got herself a child and everything… and she's now an integral part of Veronica and Ervas team. She often sends me messages of things going on in there and updates me every now and then.

She's the one in charge of space and time stuff, but even as of now, she's still developing, and I don't think she's as strong as Lucifer's Avatar… yet.

But she's certainly strong, she got her strength pretty well defined and she's developing more as we speak leaving apart her other abilities and focusing in these two elements was indeed the right thing to do.

Now, moving on to other topics, System Master-kun seems to have confessed he is no longer involving himself with crap like trying to eat away other planets!

But how real is this?

"Are you sure? I don't believe you, you're a cunning bastard after all." I said.

"Aren't you?!" he said.

"Well yes, but actually no. I can at least said I have not wiped out two planets and their millions of inhabitants." I said.

"Guh…" muttered the System Master, seemingly defeated with facts and logic.

"Astraea tell me something, what do you think? Is your father telling the truth? Is he hiding something else from me? Dear, tell me." I said.

Astraea sighed as she waved her hand and looked honestly into my eyes.

"No, Kireina-sama, my father is not lying. He's saying the truth. He left his connection to these planets, and he is as of now heading to a different direction, he wants to help you so he can be freed for real instead of his occasional visit in the outside universe. He seems to be motivated to do this, and even did such a contract with you." Said Astraea.

"Hmm… You're an honest girl, I can immediately tell you're not lying… You're also very benevolent with the asshole of your father… After all he had done, even when he was angered at you and even when he attempted to destroy you, you still hold him dear?" I asked.

"…Yes, father is only one. Despite what he had done to us and what he might had tried to do, he's still my father… I love my father." Said Astraea.

The System Master looked at Astraea with shock, as he seemed confused about her feelings, and about his own feelings. I could easily notice how many emotion essence was gathering around him out of nowhere, this meant that he was suddenly feeling an enormous quantity of bubbling emotions.

"W-Why? Why would you… think such things of a being like me?" he sighed.

"I already said so, father… Because you're my father… I cannot hate my creator, no matter how much pain you've brought to me… I… I just can't." said Astraea, her smile seemed filled with forgiveness and innocence, it was as if she was the reincarnation of a saint.

"Ah… I… I don't deserve this…" sighed the System Master, regret suddenly began to consume his mind and heart, as he suddenly kneeled not for me, but for his daughter, resting his hands over the floor, and looking at his own reflection sorrowfully.

Wow, I never expected her to do what I couldn't even do with insults…

I guess parental regret is something strong on him, despite how asshole he attempts to look like.

Yeah, he really convinced me back then, I really thought he was an emotionless prick.

But now… he was suddenly brought to his knees as the innocence and forgiveness of his children unified into a single daughter broke through the icy mask he was wielding and broke him into pieces.

"Sigh… It was so hard for me to even make him angered, but you just say a few words and look at him, on his knees!" I sighed.

"Father…" sighed Astraea.

She slowly walked towards her father, her white heels resonated over the stone-cold floor, as she reached to him.

Her beautiful and radiant figure kneeled before her father, as her beautiful radiance seemed to make her look even more like a saint…

The System Master faintly looked at his daughter.

"Father, don't be sad…" she said with a  pitiful look, as she gently caressed his faceless face.

"Ahh…" muttered the System Master, feeling overwhelmed with a feeling even stronger of regret.

"Why… Why was I… why was I doing that?" he sighed.

"Father?"

"Why was I… I never realized… I was…. I had become the thing I hated the most. A bad parent…" he sighed.

"…"

"I had… I hated my mother, the System, because she lacked emotions… She never raised me correctly… She never… did anything for me… the World's Will was cold as well… I was never given anything… no love… nothing…" he sighed.

"…"

"I never realized that I just became… the same thing as them, even when I always had emotions within me… Even when… I could had always tried to be what they never were…" he sighed.
