A Living Hope

"Even if you never wanted it this way, the deaths of every soul on this planet are your responsibility. You were a good father, husband, and caring emperor.  But Haedon, those were the very reasons for your downfall." Varian shook his head as the entire Neptune experienced rain.

As a good husband, father, and caring emperor, Haedon couldn't just abandon his family and risk coming to this side. If he did that long ago, he could've slaughtered the human race and snatched the legacy.

If he wasn't as caring about his people as he was, he'd have ordered the abyssals to slaughter humans at any rate, regardless of the cost.

But the Abyss Emperor wanted them to win with minimum casualties. He wanted as few tragedies as possible. He genuinely wanted to see smiles on the faces of his people. That noble aspiration was the cause of his downfall.
