Chapter 962: They've Grown So Much
(Iris POV)
It's perfect.
This ti, it was definitely perfect.
First was the moving sack of flesh that could manipulate emotions, whom I led to Master's vacation to sow the seeds of doubt.
Then there was the breach where I convinced Master not to patch up, just so that those three worthless existences could escape from it while also preventing more of those self proclaid 'children' from interfering.
And then the Origin fragnts ant as a backup plan for… Ufufufu~
Yes, it's perfect.
Master now knows His disciples have been doing things behind His back. With this fight, He will also know that they aren't as innocent as He thinks them to be.
His trust in them would be strained and He would turn to the one being who has been constant throughout existence: .
Truly, it was perfect.
And now, the curtains have been raised and all the players in their places. The lights are on and the audience watches on attentively as the play begins, destined for its true End.
I could not help but smile as the rod from sky fell onto the earth, marking the start of their clash. Part of the mountain broke off and the area of impact flattened into a giant crater, throwing up a giant cloud of dust.
While the three sacrilegious fools were stunned by the impact, the others began to move.
Fire and lightning streaked across the battlefield and even that little dragon was playing her part in it without even needing a push from .
Definitely, this was perfect.
Even that little demoness that Master had created was here. Her appearance was not planned but it was welcod nonetheless. To know that even His own creation would take part in this ruse, surely that would also cause a sprout of doubt to form?
As the only one who has not lied to Him… Definitely, definitely, Master will turn to .
That is why, this was perfect.
I tore my gaze away from the wonderful scene of the pieces of moving flesh trying to kill each other to look at my dearest Master's countenance. Surely, at this point, He would be devastated and heartbroken by the scene of His--
"Daaaaamn, they're so cool," Master chuckled, even munching on so popcorn that He had conjured.
…
What?
"Oh, damn. Brendan's mixing up potions on the fly? Holy shit, that's impressive as hell. This is great!"
"Daddy, you're being overexcited."
"How can I not? Look at this! My disciples are improving so much! They're such geniuses! That orbital satellite cannon is a little over the top and I'll have to punish Elaria for that but still, I have to admit that it's really cool."
"Heeeeeh~ What's so cool about using a machine to drop so stupid rod from space? I can do that too."
"Yes, yes. You're also really cute Lilith. Head pats for you!"
"Ehehehe~"
Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
It was perfect?
Was it not perfect?
What went wrong?
Which part did I miss?
Why is Master acting this way?
Why is…
Ara?
Ara, ara?
Master smiling and laughing while eating that popcorn… That sight is so… Nice… Yes… It is nice…
…
I love Him…
I love you…

…
…
Hyyyaaaaaaahhhhh?!!!
What? What is this? Why? Why?
Master giggled, "Haha, sorry, was that too sudden? If it wasn't because you told not to find out using omniscience back then, I wouldn't be treated to such an interesting sight right? You've really grown."
No, no, no! Why? This should not be happening! This is going against everything I've planned! This should not… This is not… Everything is wrong!!
Yet… Why am I so happy?!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!
Masterrrrr!!!! I looooooooooove you!!
(MC POV)
I tilted my head a little at Iris.
Since she had ntioned that I never really professed my love for her, which in truth was just that she either didn't hear or she forgot about it, I decided this was a good ti to tell her after she has shown such an interesting spectacle.
Who knew that my disciples had gone to find three goddesses to have a practice fight with just so that they could improve themselves? They even went ahead to have that little banter at the start to get into the mood too, how cute!
I'm sure after that little vacation they were feeling a bit left behind after Lian Li's ascension so they wanted to catch up. Lian Li herself hasn't yet solidified her claim on her domain so they managed to convince three goddesses to help train them too!
Most likely also concerned that I would worry about them, they even let those three goddesses extract the alarm inscription from them. How considerate.
Well, I guess that ans they found out they were already being protected which is why they are willing to make this as realistic as possible.
Hmm? What about the possibility that they are indeed going behind my back to kill three people? What are you even talking about? Have you seen how innocent and cute my disciples are?! There's no way they would do sothing like that!
And just look how much they've grown already! I'm so proud of them!
Hmmm… But when I told Iris that I loved her, her smile had frozen and she was just standing there while staring at silently.
Did… Did I say sothing wrong? Otherwise, why does it look like Iris had shut down?
"I think you broke her, Daddy," Lilith muttered, looking at Iris in amusent.
"Errr… What do you an?"
"I'm pretty sure she never expected you to profess your love so freely like that. You never would have done sothing like that in the past after all."
Ah that's right, past was basically so emotionless idiot with a giant proverbial stick up his ass. Iris was used to such a version of so having suddenly do sothing so absurd like that must have short circuited her.
Good thing I know just the way to fix her!
I gave her a chop on the head.
"Daddy… Why?"
What?
Don't you know sothing like this? Like when your computer or sothing isn't working properly you just give it a good whack?
As if to prove my point, Iris blinked and tilted her head at , "Master?"
"Oh, welco back Iris. What happened?"
"Master? Ah… I seed to have been caught up in one of my fantasies for a mont there. I thought you had said sothing weird."
"Like… I love you?"
Pop.
Eh? Ok, no, no, no! Even for you, just by getting confessed to is no reason to try and End your own existence, right?!!
Co back here!!
Trace back her Origin… Change the circumstances of her End… And snap!
"Oh, Master. Did sothing happen?"
I chuckled, "Nothing at all. You are really cute."
"Ara? Thank you, Master."
Seriously? You're ok with that but not when I confess? Who would have thought Iris was weak to this?
She's still cute though.
I would very much want to give her a head pat now but I think I'll reserve it for later when it's safer.
In the anti… Well done my cute disciples!! I'm so proud of you!
